[Bug 315542] Re: X hangs on ubuntu 8.1 intrepid laptop
I've switched back to the default driver but the instructions on getting a back trace seem to involve installing heaps of things on this laptop and another one so as to ssh into it when hung and quite honestly I can't work out how to do that on this one running Ubuntu never mind the other computer which is a subnotebook running a cutdown version of Suse. I'm not an IT expert and this has me stumped. As for trialling Jaunty - another bug I subscribed to implies that it has a similar problem soon to be fixed in kernel so I'd rather wait for that than spend my entire month's download allowance on getting a Jaunty CD - we blew it getting Intrepid last time. -- X hangs on ubuntu 8.1 intrepid laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315542 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 315542] Re: X hangs on ubuntu 8.1 intrepid laptop
Ok, Erica, It's clear that there is a problem, so I'll mark the bug as Confirmed for now. Perhaps over a weekend soon you can switch back to the default driver and try to reproduce the crash/hang for us and get a backtrace. If we can get that, hopefully we can do a full triage on this bug. It can also help if you can test in a LiveCD from Ubuntu's current development release, Jaunty - you can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Testing from the LiceCD means you don't have to make any changes to your system.

C Snover, please file your bug report as a separate bug. The "EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop." stuff is just a generic error message that the xserver is stuck in a loop.

I just experienced this issue on a Q45 running Intrepid. Xorg locked up just after receiving a message in Pidgin, before the message displayed. Got a bunch of [mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping. [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. in Xorg.0.log. Eventually the mieqEnequeue messages stopped and it just spun with EQ overflowing. Killing Xorg turned it into a zombie process. I had to log in using SSH and reboot the machine that way. The video was locked up, and graphics corruption occurred during the shutdown process. lspci -vvnn and Xorg.0.log to follow... -- X hangs on ubuntu 8.1 intrepid laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315542 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel started out with laptop going into low graphics mode after message "(EE) intel(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler" so I subscribed to bug report 306916 as it seemed to report same error. The suggestion there was to install intrepid test driver code " 1. Download and test .debs for intrepid, from: https://edge.launchpad.net/~intel-gfx-testing/+archive"; which I did. After that I started experiencing occasional failures in even getting X loaded as Ubuntu startup would hang with black screen at point where login screen usually appears - no log file created so it looked like X never loaded. This would repeat unless I went in "safe mode" once then back to normal. Even when it loaded Ok I would occasionally get the whole desktop hanging up without warning. In that case Xorg.0.log contained lines "[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop" (see attachment for whole session). I am using Ubuntu 8.1 Intrepid on a Lenovo 3000 C100 laptop with Intel GMA 900 graphics card, max screen 1024x768. Used to run Redhat fedora without any X problems or graphics problems. Am now forcing use of Vesa graphics driver as this seems to give me less problems although I have had one hang on startup and attach log file for that session too (or would if I could see how to attach 2 files!). + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express Processor to DRAM Controller [8086:2590] (rev 04) + Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:2061] + 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [8086:2592] (rev 04) + Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:2062] -- X hangs on ubuntu 8.1 intrepid laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315542 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can't reproduce the hangs as sometimes got several in one day and then none for several days and doesn't crash since loading latest drivers. This is my work laptop so need to try and keep it going reliably hence using driver "vesa".

Thank you for reporting this. Can you also please upload the following as separate attachments? dmesg > dmesg.txt lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.txt as well as /etc/X11/xorg.conf Are you able to reproduce a crash and not just a hang? If so, please collect a full backtrace - see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for directions. This may not be helpful if it is doing that infinite loop deal, but if X actually crashes, then it can certainly help.
